Swinney 'very moved' after Pope's funeral in Rome

Scotland's First Minister John Swinney has said the funeral of Pope Francis was "very moving" and "uplifting" after he attended the ceremony in Rome.

He travelled to the Italian capital for the Mass, along with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Prince William, US President Donald Trump and scores of other dignitaries.

Paisley Bishop John Keenan, clergy and parishioners from across the country were also in Italy for the service, which began at 10:00 local time (09:00 BST). Many more followed the funeral at home.

The leader of the Roman Catholic Church died on Easter Monday aged 88, after suffering a stroke.
